MORRIS HENSCHEL, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

SCARF.

' SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 373,933, dated November 29, 1887.

I Application filedDecemhel-QT, 1886. Serial No. 222,5S1. (No model.)

To all whom may concern:

Be it known that I, M'oRRIs HENsoHnL, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Scarfs, of which the following is a specilication.

This invention relates to an improvement in the -scarf for which Letters Patent were granted to me, No. 208,098, dated September 17, 1878, the improvement being designed to adapt said scarf to the .so-called tie or knotted scarfs in general use; and the invention consists of a scarf having a head or knot provided with a rigid center piece or partition, and with a raised bridge or cross-bar projecting above the head, body-pieces attached to said head, and an adjustable center piece formed ofa flexible middle portion and tapering ends that are passed over the cross-bar and ldownward at both sides of the partition. rlhe neckband is attached at one end to the partition, while the free end is passed through between the same and the adjustable center piece.

In the accompanying` drawings, Figure 1 represents a front elevation of my improved scarf; Fig. 2, a rear elevation; Fig. 3, a vertical transverse section of thesame; Fig. 4, a

detail plan view of the adjustable center piece, shown as detached from the scarf; and Fig. 5 is a top view of my improved scarf.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the head or knot of my improved scarf, andB the bar b may be made of a metal strip, that is` stitched or otherwise securely fastened to the partition B.

The neckband C isattached at one end to the partition B', while its other or free endis ready to be passed through the head A at either side of the partition. An adjustable center piece. D, .of the shape shown in Fig. 4, is provided with a middle wider and flexible part, d, corresponding to the width ot' u the head A, and narrow tapering ends d d. These ends are passed through the head A of the scarf at both sides of the partition B until the middle portion, d, is stopped by the raised bridge b. (Shown in Figs. 1 and 2.) Before the center piece, D, is entirely folded down the free end of the neckband O is inserted between the doubled-up center piece,D, and the partition and placed in position on thelocking-pin of the head, as shown in Fig. 2, upon which the center piece, D, is moved by taking hold of its lower ends, so that it tightly binds on the free end ofthe neckband, and imparts thereby to the neekband the appearance of a tied or knotted scarf, as shown in Fig. l.

Vhen the scarf is removed from the neck, the center piece is irst lifted by pushing its ends upward, so that the free end of the neckband can be readily removed.

The adjustable center piece can be used on both sides, as it is covered on both sides, it being thereby more durable and adapted to be worn longer, so as to be worn as long as the body of the scarf lasts.

By applying a shield and elastic to the rear part of the head or knot A the neckband may be dispensed with, and the scarf worn with a turned-down collar.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- V1. The combination, .in a scarf, of a head or knot having a rigid center piece or partition, and a bridge or cross-bar projecting above the head, body-pieces attached to said head or knot, a neckband attached at one end to said partition, andan adjustable reversible center piece formed of a ilexible middle portion and tapering ends, said center piece being doubled up over the bridgeand passed through the head at both sides of the partition, substantially as set forth. a v

2. The combination, in a scarf, .of a head or knot having a rigid center piece or partition,

Vwith abridge or cross-bar projecting above IOO the head or knot, body-pieces attached to said In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as head or knot, and an adjustable and reversimy invention I have signed my naine in presble center piece formed of a exible middle ence of two subscribing' witnesses. portion and tapering ends, said center-piece 5 being doubled np over the bridge and passed l XVitnesses:

through at' both sides of the partition, subl PAUL GOEPEL, stantally as set forth. l MARTIN PETRY.
